Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1645

Chapter 1645

When Camille saw the displeasure on Carter’s face, she sat down on the sofa calmly.

“Did you really trick Eveline into signing a marriage certificate with you? From the very beginning, didn’t she put up this pretense with you only to help you shake off Ada?”

“When you were signing the marriage certificate during the engagement, she only obliged and signed the certificate because you said it was simply a formality, isn’t that right?”

Faced with these questions from Camille, Carter could not offer any rebuttal.

His silence thus gave Camille the most direct answer.

Camille, however, was a bit vexed. “Carter, you’ve always been straightforward and upright when you act, and you disdained petty maneuvers like this, but this time…”

“That’s because at times, to complete a goal and task, certain skills are required.”

“I, however, don’t think this is a skill. This is manipulation and entrapment. This might even be destruction. You will ruin Eveline,” Camille rationally corrected him.

“However, if it weren’t for me, she would have died at sea.”

“Is that why you schemed against her?” Camille asked in turn. The air around them fell into silence once again.

Carter too became silent once more. His brows furrowed slightly, as though he was thinking about something.

“Carter, let me put it this way. I admire Eveline, and, admittedly, if she could be my daughter-in-law, I’ll be happy. However, the truth is that she can’t, so I hope I can still be friends with her.”

When Carter heard this, astonishment flashed in Carter’s eyes. A few seconds later, a smile appeared on his face.

“I didn’t expect so many things to happen recently. I had thought that, after Ryan and Naomi’s cases were settled, I could safely return home, live a quiet and happy life with my beloved family, and pursue my career. However, I certainly did not expect Carter’s hypnotism.”

Jeremy tightened his grip on Madeline’s shoulder. He leaned down and lightly pressed a doting kiss on her forehead. His deep eyes were filled with guilt and dissatisfaction.

“I keep saying that I would protect you, and yet I keep letting you face the dangers alone.”

Madeline lifted her eyes to look at the man’s beautiful jawline. “Don’t blame yourself. We can’t predict accidents.”

Jeremy smiled gently and lightly as he lowered his eyes to look into Madeline’s eyes. “Linnie, you’re still so forgiving.”

“That’s because we’re husband and wife.”

‘That’s because we’re husband and wife.’
